| Detailed Description |
According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Apache Tomcat 7.0 listening on the remote host is earlier than Tomcat 7.0.32 and, therefore, may be affected by a security bypass vulnerability.
An error exists in the file 'filters/CsrfPreventionFilter.java' that can allow cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks to bypass the filtering. This can allow access to protected resources without a session identifier.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
